Mapping refugee and migrant communities
There is no single data collection instrument for the measurement of international migration. This guide details a number of sources which provide specific data about the movement of the population into and out of the UK. These sources may be generally classified as either census, survey or administrative datasets. Each has its own limitations depending upon the question asked, the purpose of the data collection and the population covered.
This guide discusses the different sources of information available to map migrant populations in the UK. Some of the challenges in gathering data about migrants are outlined, followed by a list of research and resources containing asylum and migration statistics. It is based on a resource developed by Gabriela Quevedo for the one day advanced course ‘Conducting Community Research' held by the Evelyn Oldfield Unit in July 2010.
